Quite possibly the happiest family ever! The kids, Cole & Ella, were always smiling! They giggle at everything so it makes it so easy to catch an adorable and genuine smile. The hardest part for Cole was keeping a straight face when I asked him too. But Ella can WORK.IT! haha

Great job Jones family! So glad you were able to make it to Northern Michigan for your shoot, it was a blast!

ENJOY!

SUCH a fabulous shoot!!!! I was so excited to share this sneak peek!! They were so easy going and took direction very well! Although I barely had to give any! Their family dynamic is SO wonderful and they make it VERY clear how much they enjoy being around each other. I did get teary eyed going through the photos because Nicole’s words from their client interview kept running through my head…, “Noel is everything they say a first child is, completely our life, we wonder how we ever lived without her, she is our Angel Baby!” *tear* I love it!

I hope you three had as fun a time as I did and enjoyed your family vacation!

It wasn’t windy at all!!!!

I have said this before but I’ll gladly say it again… I have been taking photos of newborns with the GREATEST names!

INTRODUCING BERKLEY MADYSON!

Isn’t she a doll? She looks a lot like her daddy right now! I imagine at some point she will resemble her beautiful mother.  And isn’t her room ADORABLE?!?!?!  Of course she wasn’t prepared to see her room until 5 days after her due date but the wait is always worth it.

Congratulations Leith family! I’m so happy for you! Thank you for being so sweet and feeding me yummy snacks! haha  Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

LOVE this family! Especially a certain threesome in the group. They were such troopers during the last half hour of photos, when it started to get VERY hot and humid!
I had a lot of fun Most family! I hope you did too!

ENJOY!

Remember this sweet baby boy newborn shoot? He is 8 months already! WOW! Time is fleeting - I say this often!

Ashton was born while his daddy was away serving our country and this shoot was taken just a week after the two of them met for the first time. (I’m not afraid to admit I’m tearing up while writing this.) Being around the three of them for a few hours, it was as if they had never been apart. They were so fabulous!

Congratulation you two on such a happy, beautiful and healthy little boy!

ENJOY!

Check out more photos on my Facebook page here!

I LOVE when clients document their child’s first year! It is just as much fun for me to see them grow thru the pictures as it for them! :*) I can’t believe how big she is already, but SO small!

Hadley - you’re absolutely adorable and you CRACK ME UP!!! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for me at your ONE year photos! Which seem to be creeping up fast.

Thank you for a great Wednesday evening Burrows Family!

*Like these aren’t the BEST faces EVER!!!!!*

I LOVE Hadley close ups!

A sand-eating-beach-babe!

This sweet foot photo turned into….

… a wave attack, which then made sweet Hadley…

…fall over! But Daddy quickly saved her.

Such a fabulous time with a fabulous family!

I had a lot of fun with this family of soon to be six!!!

They were so laid back and up for anything. The kiddos were hilarious, sweet and very photogenic!
I love the chaos of kids and can’t wait for our family to catch up to yours Maria and Trent!

Congratulations on the pregnancy with baby #4!

Funny fam.

Aww! Brother and Sister

I have to start off with the fact that I had a hard time writing Johnson on this post. Numerous times I began with DeJaegher. haha Sorry Mike - I think Amber will always be Amber DeJaegher to me!

Mike and Amber had a BEAUTIFUL wedding celebration on July 3rd! They set-up, the food, the guest and the weather was PERFECT! They were such great sports about leaving right after the ceremony to go take some family pictures. I promised I would get that back in a decent amount of time so that they could actually enjoy their party.

Thank you for thinking of me to capture such a GREAT day for your now family of three!!!! You two are extremely lucky and I couldn’t be more happier for the three of you!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
